Embark on an unforgettable journey through the captivating landscapes and vibrant culture of Thailand. This meticulously crafted tour takes you from the bustling metropolis of Bangkok to the idyllic beaches of Railay and the serene temples of Chiang Mai, offering a perfect blend of city excitement, tropical relaxation, and cultural immersion.
This trip is designed for the moderately active walker, with walking distances of between 2-3 miles. Agility is needed for train travel and navigating the stairs in hotels that may not have elevators.

If you have major food allergies this trip is not for you as an absence of cross-contamination in food allergens can not be guaranteed.
